Advice to become a better developer

Hello guys, I have a question. As a developer, whether it's for software development, web development, game development, how do we do to have a bit more "weight" towards our fellow friends? I mean if we consider fields like networking and security, their are lots and lots of certification but what about developments? What kind of certifications do we need to do/undertake please? Or beside certifications, what else can we do please. Say I want to be a software developer, what would be the right way to make myself a bit more "unique" ? (please bip me for a response)

you need a cv that's your certification some ask for a degree, but experience trumps that - sometimes for specific industries, you might need specific certifications but that's it

yeah, on our cv we don't really put the projects we have done, no? only language we work on etc ? Yeah I see In general, is there any certifications, developers are recommended to take ?

Normally, a CV should it be only one page long? I use the templates from canvas etc but I read that this might not be the best choice because of how our CVs are automatically read (forgot what technical term they use for the machine)
